What is the etiquette for following up with an agency recruiter who you sent your resume to after having an informational interview? She reached out to me via LinkedIn, we spoke live, I sent my resume (after having to reach out twice for more info, the first time she ignored me for 2 days). Tomorrow it will be a week since I sent my resume and told her I’d like to move forward. Do I reach back out and ask for next steps or do I just consider myself full and well ghosted at this point? 👻

In my experience with being on the hiring side sometimes the internal process is slower than you’d like or need it to be. If you’ve already followed up twice before I’d give it another week before chasing again.

I thought I was being ghosted by the recruiter for the position I have now after two weeks of radio silence. Turns out he was legit busy and finance was taking forever on the approval.

Apply the same rules as dating: I would not follow up. S/he knows who you are and if interested will come to you. Move on to the next oppy and if you’re right for the position - you’ll get that call. Meantime, try not to focus on one opp but concentrate on opening doors for others. It’ll make you feel like you’re moving forward, even though this recruiter is stalling. Best of luck OP.

Thanks, that’s helpful!

You said it was informational, so is there a job opening? What do you mean by moving forward?

like

Yep there is a job opening and the informational interview was a meet and greet with the recruiter telling me about the position, me telling her about myself, and both of us asking questions. If I was interested, I was to send my resume and she would set up the interviews with the people I’d be reporting to, etc. So I did, and it’s been a week with no response.

Looking forward to reading all the replies on how the recruiter was too busy or other excuses basically saying it’s never the recruiter’s fault.

I read that some women don’t really “feel” pregnant until 6-7 weeks… but i did “feel” then stopped. It just sucks. If you have any advice for coping, I’d appreciate it.
